This chapter discusses the complexity of drought tolerance in wheat focusing the morphological, biochemical, physiological and molecular responses. The breeding approaches, such as traditional and genomics-assisted strategies, for drought tolerance in wheat are described. Future perspectives are...
This book is a comprehensive summary of the scientific literatures that covers fig botany, production, processing, nutrition, and markets. It has 19 chapters that specifically discuss fig and: (1) history, archaeology, and culture; (2) taxonomy, botany, and physiology; (3) production and growing...
This chapter focuses on the origin, geographical distribution, morphological, physiological and phenological characteristics, cultivation history, breeding, vegetative propagation methods and molecular genetics and genomics of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis). The importance of developing various...
This chapter focuses on the origin, geographical distribution, morphological, physiological and phenological characteristics, cultivation history, breeding, vegetative propagation methods and molecular genetics and genomics of persimmons (Diospyros kaki). The importance of developing various...
This chapter focuses on the origin, geographical distribution, morphological, physiological and phenological characteristics, cultivation history, breeding, vegetative propagation methods and molecular genetics and genomics of chestnuts (Castanea spp.). The importance of developing various genetic...
Trees require an optimum growing condition across the temperature range 70-85°F or 21-30°C. Hot temperatures can injure and kill living tree systems. Trees dissipate heat by long-wave radiation or convection of heat into the air and by transpiration, i.e. water loss from leaves. Transpiration plays ...
Among the effects of impending climate change, drought will have a profound impact on crop productivity in the future. Water stress has been predicted to become more severe and widespread and have adverse effects on growth of higher plants and crop productivity. To overcome these adverse effects,...
This chapter focuses on the botany and physiology of the horticulturally important fig (Ficus carica) species. Through understanding of its reproductive complexity and developmental biology, complete genome sequencing could place the fig as a model plant in horticulture and evolutionary biology....
This chapter focuses on basic matters pertaining to fig (Ficus carica) breeding. Specifically, it discusses fig genetic resources that form the foundation of breeding and genetic diversity, breeding history, target traits of the breeding process and the characteristics and application of...
Breeding strategies in fig are classified as either classical breeding or modern strategies. Modern strategies hold promise for increasing selection efficiency. They include marker-assisted selection, mutation breeding, transgenic plant development, and, recently, genome-editing approaches using...
